Red Pepper Racing

I figured i should post this in the carb section to get you guy's attentions! I still have these block off plates in stock ready to ship! check out the FS thread here

http://www.redpepper...showtopic=46792

if i run out I WILL MAKE MORE, but i need some orders before i make another set!

if anyone wants pics of an engine bay with these, i will post, or if you bought these from me please post pics of your engine bay!

thanks!

finally got around to getting these up

the plates worked great , with only the egr tube plate needing the hole for the screws drilled out a little bigger.






if i fitted this plate at the end of the silver egr tube it would have fit fine, but i wanted everything possible out so i did it where it connects to the block. i just drilled out the holes for the bigger bolts. once i finished i realized i could have taken out that right angle bend and put the plate right on the engine block, but i was tired and lazy . if i ever have the engine out i will.

Looks like they fit really nice. I would have baught some if i would have remembered that i was going to need some as soon as i got my USDM manfold, sadly i had to make my own.

+1 for nice block off plates

btw clean your motor ^^^^^^^^

lol

I KNOW !!!!!!


they worked great and finally got the weber running and dialed in..... she is finally running strong .... and really quiet
.... and i dont feel like i am going to sleep when i am driving it YAY EXHAUST BLOCK OFFS

i got one side clean while waiting for my friend to come over with the pressure gauge .....

clean side and block off plates shot !!!!!!!!!

chedda you dorknugget! i could have used some bushings from you too... coulda traded! do yours look as good as mine?

Not AS good but still ok. If you would ever read posts that arent by yourself you would see that right below in the carb section was my weber build thread muhahah

i read lots of your posts! i click on "new topics" every day. i'm not in the carb section anymore tho as my 1.3L blew up. no carbies for me except on my scooter!


the round plug you made is for the afterburner valve. it did something that ive forgotten LOL something about it sucking up excess fuel mixture when you let off? i dunno.

the way yours is made i would worry that if you ever DID happen to have an intake backfire (would be bad if it even happened!) your plug might pop right out and be lost forever. my block-off plates are all bolt on! i like shit to be secure even if not COMPLETELY necessary.

digging the rei ayanami on the shock tower

Kaymo , i know that if there was ever a backfire it would create some kind of pressure in the intake manifold, but because its not boosted its hardly any pressure. If you can put a rubber cap on a vac barb and never have it come off, my friction fit and silicone sealed plug will never come out. I had to use my press to get that thing in there, and it wasnt a tiny bit of pressure either, it took some actual force, probably 3-4 hundred pounds of force. Id say its never coming out. But I do love your design, i just found this easier, rather than cutting out more aluminum plate.

Oh and if your reading threads and not commenting then forshame...forshaaaammme

I forgot how long ago I put these plates on......but I can tell you they are AWESOME!!!! Kaymo, I finally got a decent camera!!

no need to bump, but just to inform these plates are still for sale, and will always be available. i am out at the moment but will be making more sets to sit on the shelf for you carbies!!

3 years old and I noticed kaymo hasn't been on in a while...anyone else doing these?

Yes, anybody still making these? PayPal ready here!!

Hate to revive a dinosaur, but are these still available? If not, is there anyone out there still fabbing these? I;m in the market for some. I don't have access to the materials or equipment required to get these done locally at the moment.
